Xiuzhen Tan studied in Akita, Japan for the semester as part of her International Studies major. Travel along with her via her blog, "Exploring Beyond its Surface."

Students must have completed two semesters at W&J before applying.

Akita International University is offering a scholarship of 60,000 JPY per month (approximately $550 USD per month) for four months for a W&J student who will study there in the spring 2019 term. In return, they expect that the scholarship recipient will become an ambassador of AIU and will promote study there. Akita International University is an approved study abroad program, and no prior Japanese is required!

Note: there is a petition process in place for students wishing to study on a program that is not on the list of approved programs. Petitions are due one month prior to the regular study abroad deadlines of March 1 and October 1. Please email the Office of Study Abroad at StudyAbroad@washjeff.edu for information and detailed guidelines. A limited number of petitions will be approved each term.
